With the rest of my team (my defense was LEAGUES past the next best one) is good enough around that position that I shouldn't need studs there.
My concern a backup in the even of injury really. If one of those two were to go down I could be in a heap of trouble.
Yeah your starters are fine, but you need to go into a season with 3 quality running backs. between byes and the event of injuries, even minor ones or poor matchups your 3rd RB ussually ends up starting 4-5 times during the season.
You don't think that at the 6 spot a guy like Joseph Adaii could be available? If the Colts draft him he could be a starter from the get go or atleast get quality playing time.

Here is how I see it. Any running back in a good situation will go beofre my pick except for the guy sitting @ 1.4. He's loaded at running back and dead with receiver. Holmes/Jackson would be his pick.
But that still leaves four people in front of me that would take backs. Bush, Williams, White, Maroney, Addai ... I guess one could fall to me but unless they're in a decent situation (IE drafted by a team in need) I couldn't expect any real help there.
And do I take a questionable running back like say Addai over a more sure fire star like Hawk, or Super Mario if choosing?
You might want to look at possibly finding someone to replace Kiel. With the addition of McCree he might only be a dime-package sub next year....because I doubt they move Kiel to FS full-time ahead of Jue.

I'd pass on Hawk but not Super Mario. You are very strong at LB.

What happened to Keil? He was a sure fire stud two years ago. I thought he fell of with injury last season? I could pick up Jue even if I needed to. Keil is in a bad situation now though?
could you list the FA RB's? obviously the draft is going to affect a lot, but as you said, you're out of position. I would probably look at targeting whichever RB that Jacksonville or Indianapolis takes, or if the Steelers or Eagles take one in the first round, I'd consider that. Obviously it all depends.
If Mike Anderson can be had for cheap, take him. What is there to lose? Jamal sucks, we all know it. He'll get nominal starts for a while but if Billick wants to keep his job he'll need to throw Anderson into it. Even so, he'll still probably be good for 15 carries a game or so even when Jamal is starting. I wouldn't hesitate to take him for cheap.
Edit: with your #6 pick you have to take a RB, whichever you have the highest rated. With your #10 pick I'd probably take another RB, but Michael Huff would be a consideration at safety/cornerback since you need help there. #12 is BPA but probably another RB or secondary player.
